Much more than you could ever expect and imagine!!! Two days of dizzying experience and adventure await! Amr, who picked me up at my hotel in Cairo, was a gentle, likable young man and very polite and kind. It was a long drive of about 5 hours to Baharaya Oasis, the base of our activities, but with beautiful roads and great views, junk but really good potato chips to buy at the gas station on the way 😋 I never get tired. We had the best homemade home cooking at the manager's house of the Oasis operating company and then we switched to the Land Cruiser and departed 🚙 Black Desert ~ Hot Springs ♨️ ~ Crystal Mountain ~ Sandsurfing 🏄 and searching for a camping place in the superb white desert. We set up a simple restaurant and tent, and then Ahmed, our local guide, spent about 2 hours preparing homemade food and soup! (i) No postage stamp. It's so delicious!!! The Fennec fox, which has a small body and big ears that live all over the Sahara Desert after smelling delicious during meals, is here!!! Super cute 😍 When the lights go out after dark, countless stars fill the sky 360 degrees from the horizon 🌟 After dinner, we chatted around the bonfire 🔥. The next morning, we had a beautiful sunrise as well as last night's sunset. Breakfast is also great with a simple but delicious naan-like Egyptian staple bread (Aesh Baladi) and hot boiled eggs and processed cheese (La Vache qui rit) in the great outdoors!!! On the second day, we will enjoy an adventure drive around the strange white desert rocks and visit another hot spring on our way back to Cairo. Definitely the best activity ever in my life! Thank you so much Amr and Ahmed!!! I hope to visit again someday.

It was a beautiful trip and the landscape of the white desert is inspiring and beautiful! I would recommend it to everyone who likes to experience a wild and beautiful adventure. My friend and I felt very comfortable and the camping in the desert was well prepared and so was the food. The food was delicious and a variation of everything. In the evening we were listening to some Bedouin music and the stillness in the desert. Sleeping in the tent was also very comfortable. We really enjoyed this beautiful trip and it was very special! Thank you!

This was my third time visiting the White Desert – and I can honestly say, it was even better than the first. What made the difference? Medhat and his incredible crew. From the moment we met, they were kind, respectful, and so full of joy and positive energy. By the end of the trip, it felt less like we were with guides and more like we were traveling with new friends. They created such a fun and relaxed vibe, always checking in on us, making us laugh, and going out of their way to make everything smooth and enjoyable. The sleeping setup was super cozy, the food was fresh and delicious, and the landscapes (even having seen them before) somehow felt more magical this time around – especially under that insane starry sky. This trip made me fall in love with the desert all over again. I already can’t wait to come back for another adventure with Medhat and his team. Highly, highly recommend!

My friend and I visited the western desert of Egypt in February 2024. The experience was fabulous with Medhat and Ibrahim who are experts in these types of excursions. We visited 5 oases including Siwa, White Desert (camp for 5 days) and Black Desert, Bahariya, Farafra, Dahkla and Kargha. The care, the attention of all kinds, the accommodation, the food, beautiful sunsets, visiting remote archaeological zones, close coexistence with locals, even practicing Arabic with them, all of this experiences were the best. We always feel very safe. We named Medhat "the king of the desert." I highly recommend his services.

It was an amazing beautiful trip. This time longer. It's the second trip with Medhad, because I know he is a very good host and driver and trust him. I always felt safe. He brought us to beautiful places in the desert. Our camp was good and the fresh cooked food was again delicous. Sitting at the fire, drinking fresh cooked tea, singing and making music while just being under the stars. Soul food. Thank you, Medhad.

We had an amazing couple of days with our experienced driver. He drove through the black and white deserts and shared his knowledge with us. We went to many different sites and had plenty of opportunities to explore and take photos. He cooked an incredible meal which we shared as the sun was setting. We then drank tea by the fire while we gazed at the stars.

The most amazing and epic moment of Egypt. Yes, I loved the temples and touring around. But the white desert experience was the highlight that I can’t stop talking about. I am so blessed that I was able to go into the white desert. I am a solo female traveler and I felt safe the entire time. Anything I needed was provided. The food was amazing. The stars were amazing. What set this apart from the other tours: feeling like family. The other tours just shuffled me around. Pushed in and out of stores to buy stuff. Not here. The desert tour as so much more. I felt that I became apart of the Bedouin family. I felt that I was heading into an adventure with a brother, not a tour guide. I made friends with everyone I met along the way. I ate home cooked meals, sipped tea in beautiful locations, and had the best moment of my life. Special moments: Hiking up a mountain in the black desert Wandering around the old and new white desert Chicken and mushroom Watching the sun set at camp See the stars Driving in the sand dunes Crawling over rocks Seeing the oasis Sand boarding Eating good food Being in good company Seeing a rare Finnic fox (I think that’s what the desert fox is called).

This was an amazing experience in no small part because we went with Medhat. He is from this land and know it intimately. We felt very well taken care of. After a while day of sight seeing the most incredible landscape, he set up tent for us to spend the night in the desert. In no time at all he set up the most comfortable place to relax and a kitchen for him to cook us the most delicious meal. We highly recommend his service and looking forward to spend more than just one night in his company.

Besides being knowledgeable guys, our guides Ibrahim and Ahmed were the most hospitable and genuine people we had the pleasure of meeting in Egypt. Our tour in the white desert was nothing but elite and I could not recommend more. It is is worth every Egyptian pound you spend if not more. These guys are the best and what they do and I cannot wait to come back to the white desert to do it all over again. The food, the comfort, the knowledge. I was genuinely taken back by how great this trip was.
